For those attending what looks to be an excellent virtual conference being put on by the Environmental Bankers Association this week, be sure to watch myself and Georgina Dannatt, CHMM, REPA covering Continuing Obligations. Whether motivated by CERCLA’s liability defenses, state agency requirements, or good risk management, post-purchase “continuing obligations” (a phrase coined by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)) can prove hugely important to contaminated property purchasers and their lenders, throughout the life of the property’s use. This session will cover the legal requirements, ASTM International E2790 recommendations (and forthcoming ASTM updates), as well as purchaser and lender considerations, and perspective on the impacts of PFAS being listed as a hazardous substance. Whether new to the topic or seasoned on the subject, this session will provide a holistic view, keen insights, and practical takeaways. #CRE #riskmanagement #PFAS #CERCLA #liability #EPA #environmental #brownfields

Continuing obligations cover a wide range of responsibilities, but a critical aspect is compliance with institutional controls—a specialty of Terradex as part of our innovative approach to long-term stewardship. With his extensive experience leading our efforts and the development of ASTM International’s Continuing Obligations standard, our VP, Michael Sowinski, will be sharing valuable insights on institutional control compliance and best practices for satisfying the full range of continuing obligations requirements. If you’re attending the Environmental Bankers Association virtual conference, be sure to catch his presentation with Georgina Dannatt, CHMM, REPA, tomorrow! #Terradex #institutionalcontrols #landuse #CERCLA #PFAS #riskmanagement #sustainability #bestpractices

This should be an informative session.

What does the EPA’s new Superfund rule for PFOA and PFOS mean? Onvector’s CEO, Daniel J Cho and Nathalie Ionesco,PhD give their insights on the EPA's recent announcement regarding PFAS, specifically PFOA and PFOS, designating them as hazardous substances under CERCLA. This designation has raised concerns among entities accountable for contaminated sites due to potential costly litigation and cleanups. CERCLA enables authorities to hold polluters accountable for cleanup costs. We expect that one way the EPA will use this new rule is in cases of urgency. With the inclusion of PFOS and PFOA to its list of contaminants, the agency will be able to issue violations, take actions, force cleanups, and recover costs from the polluters. It achieves CERCLA’s dual objectives – the timely cleanup of contaminated sites and ensuring that those responsible pay for the cleanup.
